A Minor allows students to explore areas, other than a student’s Major area, of interest and build alternative areas of expertise. Many students are interested in more than one area and wish to build competencies in them of simply grow their interest for life long learning. Often, areas have complementary learning and career opportunities. A student desirous of building a pharmaceutical plant post-graduation may want to take a major in life sciences and a minor in operations management or even general engineering or vice-versa. Some other may be doing a major in Chemical Engineering but may have a love for world history and may want to explore a minor in history to grow their love for life-long learning in that area. Another student majoring in Physics may develop an interest to work an investment bank and may want to complete a minor in Finance.
A student can take a Minor in any area designated as a Minor at any School or Centre of the University. A Minor area cannot be the same as the major area or in a related area. Some Minors may also have specific pre-requisites. The University permits students to take more than one minor.
A Minor requires completion of 18 credits as specified by the requirements of the minor. Free Electives can be used along with some courses from the Major Requirements and GERs towards a Minor. For instance, a student majoring in a management discipline and wanting to minor in Economics, will already have taken Microeconomics and Macroeconomics as part of their School core requirement. They simply need to take the remaining minor requirements as part of their GERs or Free Electives to complete the minor.
Academic Advising will be done by Programme Chairs and Major Advisors for various minors.

A Minor in Design introduces the design field and its interdisciplinary applications in industry and society. Minoring in design is expected to rouse students’ interest and diversify their studies to incorporate design skills and thinking into their academic experiences.
The intent is to allow students enrolled in any programme at the University to discover, learn, follow, and apply basic fundamental design approaches, concepts, principles, methods, and processes that serve as a framework or toolbox for stimulating creativity and methodology to identify, define and solve problems.
The Design Minor provides the student with an understanding of human needs and reframing any problem in human-centric ways. It gives an overview of the critical design thinking used for problem identification and opportunity mapping in any given context. They will learn to recognise that design is exploratory in nature and helps navigate ambiguity. It adopts a hands-on approach to prototyping, testing, and problem-solving.
Understanding design empowers one to apply its methods to tackle and solve complex problems around us. It will encourage the use of creative and innovative techniques to create better products, services, systems, processes, strategies, and experiences that meet existing or previously unidentified real-world needs.
Significantly, it will add a richer and more diverse perspective to their understanding of their field of Major education, be it management, technology, sciences, humanities, or social sciences.
Structure of the Design Minor
The Design Minor is open to students admitted to any Undergraduate programme at the University. For a Minor in Design, the student must complete an 18-credit programme consisting of:
Two core subjects of 3 credits each, and one of the following:
Either four elective subjects of 3 credits each OR two elective subjects of 3 credits each and a design project (spread over one-and-a-half semesters) worth 6 credits.
The student needs to discuss the topic of the Design Project and get it approved by the Design Minor coordinator before opting for the project.

The Mathematics Minor is designed for a student of any Discipline, other than Mathematics Major, who is interested in Mathematics and has some background in high-school and 12th-grade level mathematics (covered by MAT 142 – “Introductory Calculus”).
The objective of the Mathematics Minor program is to give students a solid foundation in the core topics in mathematics at an intermediate and advanced undergraduate level and to enable them to effectively use mathematics as a tool in their chosen Disciplines.
Prerequisite:
Students in the Mathematics Minor are expected to have a background in Calculus up to the 12th Standard level. In the absence of this, an equivalent course (e.g. MAT 110 – “Introductory College Maths” and MAT 142 – “Introductory Calculus”) will suffice to fulfil this prerequisite.
Minors Requirements:
A minor in Mathematics requires 18 credits from six courses. The six courses are divided into two main parts.
The first part is the Mathematics Minor Core consisting of the following two courses:
Calculus and linear algebra are fundamental to not only almost all the subfields of mathematics, but also in applications of mathematics in the natural sciences, engineering, economics, and management sciences. These topics, therefore, constitute the core of the Mathematics Minor.
The second part of the Mathematics Minor consists of four elective courses. The goal of this part is to provide students the opportunity to learn topics relevant to their Major Disciplines. It also offers students the flexibility to select the topics of their interest from a basket of certain advanced topics in Undergraduate Mathematics.
Mathematics Minor Part I: Mathematics Minor Core Courses
Outlines of the Mathematics Minor core courses are given below:
Mathematics Minor Part II: Mathematics Minor Elective Courses
Elective courses in Mathematics are either Standalone topics courses or a sequence of two courses covering an advanced topic in Undergraduate Mathematics, e.g., ‘Topology’ and ‘Basic Algebraic Topology’.
After completing the Mathematics Minor Core courses, i.e. from Part-I, the student should pick any four courses (worth 12 credits) from the following list of Standalone and Sequence courses. Often the second course in a sequence course requires the first course as a prerequisite, in such cases students must take the first course before taking the second course. In general, it is recommended and desirable, that students should take both the courses in a sequence course, but it is not mandatory.
